St. Aidan's C.B.P.S.

Our first group of 2011 were the P7 pupils of St. Aidan's. What a lovely way to start the year.  The boys are looking forward to their Confirmation on the 4th March and we had a bit of discussion about what they can do in the meantime to prepare for the occasion.  We talked about some of the big challenges that Christianity asks of us, like forgiveness, which is so difficult at times! 

The boys prepared a beautiful Liturgy and hopefully you will enjoy reading the prayers and the reasons they have for their choice of music and focus, as well as looking at the photos which show how much thought they put into this lovely celebration of their Retreat Day.  Enjoy...

Focus
We wrote the word PEACE, because as Christians we want to live in peace with everyone.

The boys made the PEACE sign out out their paper hands

Music
Castles in the Sky - Ian Van Dal: We chose this because it makes you think about your life. 
You've got the Love - Florence and the Machine: We chose this because it means we can always rely on God's love.

Dear God

Look after me and everyone else in the world.

Help the poor people with all their needs.

Amen

Dear God,

Could you please help people to stop killing each other,

because people are dying for nothing.

I want that to stop because I don't like people dying.

God, you are the best and everyone can trust you,

so I trust you.

Amen

Dear God,

Please bless all those who are sick

and bless all those who are caring for them

Amen

We wish the P7 pupils every blessing for their Confirmation and we hope they will be a light to others in the world.
